ACROSS AMERICA--Any hopes of an early spring were dashed Tuesday when another brutal winter storm affected much of the Northeast. Some parts of the Northeast saw up to a foot of snow while other areas received a wintery mix.

The storm caused hundreds of flight cancellations leaving passengers stranded at airports and schools across the region cancelled classes ahead of the storm.

As the storm marches further north, its wake leaves many to shovel their driveways, avoid hazardous driving conditions, and a snow day to enjoy some sledding.
